Course Information

Description

An introduction to the ways in which the brain controls mental activities. The course covers the cells and signals that process and transmit information, and the ways in which neurons form circuits that change with experience. Topics include the neurobiology of perception, learning, memory, emotion, and neurologic disorders. This year we are combining interactive, didactic lecture videos with live Tuesdays and Thursdays featuring guest lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and review sessions in addition to small discussion sections.

Course Notes

Neuro 80 was previously offered as MCB 80 and will satisfy the same requirement for all concentrations, secondaries, course prerequisites, etc.
